How do you write to these tags?!

I write to these tags using my Nokia C7 smartphone which came with the backend software needed to write to NFC tags. Thanks for the question!

I will be posting a video of how these tags work very shortly.

If there's an Android app that will write to NFC tags such as this, then I would be interested. (Though I might have to upgrade my phone, too...)

Can you also do the writing/flashing with a Nexus S? (Developer Version)

I believe there's a free app by NXP called NXP TagWriter (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nxp.nfc.tagwriter) and the Nexus S (http://www.nearfieldcommunicationsworld.com/2011/02/28/36227/nxp-adds-nfc-tagwriter-app-to-android-market/) is able to write tags. I personally don't have an android device to test or try out that app, but from what I've read the Nexus S might be what you are looking for.

Here's an example payment card or poster that a merchant could use with a NFC tag. More examples coming soon!

I updated the original post and cleaned it up a bit. Added another type of NFC tag, the 38mm type. Also added more pics to the above example merchant pad.

Would anyone be interested in a QR code keychain with NFC? The above pic is shopped as an example, but I could post pics of the end product if there is interest.

Live in a dorm with a bunch of tech-savy people that don't know about bitcoins?

1. Print out a poster explaining what bitcoin is and how to exchange them for cash.
2. Buy one of my NFC tags written with your Trade Hill or other exchange referral link.
3. Stick it to your poster and get yourself some referrals!
4. ?? ?? ?? ?
5. PROFIT!!!
